Welcome dear travel fans! I've been traveling around the world for 20 years and most of my trips were to Asia. I think I have been crazy about Japan since I was a child and will be happy to share this passion with you.

Additional information

The name Shukkeien translates to “shrunken-scenery garden,” and the garden was designed to incorporate miniature landscapes to create a sense of depth and perspective.

The garden features a central pond, several tea houses, and walking paths that wind around the various ponds, waterfalls, and rock formations. The garden’s design is meant to mimic various natural landscapes, including mountains, forests, and waterfalls.

In addition to its natural beauty, the garden is also known for its cultural significance, as it served as a meeting place for the samurai class during the Edo period. Today, the garden is open to the public and is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike.
